Bigger picture

While not wishing to underplay the horror of the 31 October terror attack in New York, when eight people were killed and 11 i njured, one wonders at President Donald Trump’s reaction to this incident given that, according to The Gun Violence archive, on the same day 11 people were killed and 38 injured by guns throughout the USA. Should his priorities not be tr ying to reduce this daily death toll rather than making ridiculous statements about immigration?
